They map the generic terrain of the road movie, trace its evolution on American television as well as on the big screen from the 1930s through the 1990s, and, finally, consider road movies that go off the road, departing from the US landscape or travelling the margins of contemporary culture.

The contributors explore how the road movie has confronted and represented issues of nationhood, sexuality, gender, class, and race. Movies discussed range from the classics such as It Happened One Night, The Grapes of Wrath, The Wizard of Oz, and the Bob Hope–Bing Crosby Road to films, through 1960s reworkings of the genre in Easy Rider and Bonnie and Clyde, to the road movie’s contemporary flourishing with hits such as Paris, Texas, the Mad Max trilogy, Rain Man, Thelma and Louise, Natural Born Killers and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. The Road Movie Book is the first comprehensive study of this enduring but ever-changing Hollywood genre and its legacy to world cinema beyond the United States. When Jean Baudrillard equated modern American culture with “space, speed, cinema, technology” he could just as easily have added that the road movie is its supreme emblem. The myth of the road has its origins in the nation’s frontier ethos in the twentieth century, technological advances brought motion pictures to mass audiences and the mass-produced automobile within the reach of the ordinary American. The road is an enduring theme in American culture.
